This remarkable film tells the story of Twain's extraordinary life---full of rollicking adventure, stupendous success and crushing defeat, hilarious comedy and almost unbearable tragedy, with fascinating interviews of Hal Holbrook, Arthur Miller, William Styron and many others, the story is told primarily through the words of Twain himself, so viewers of all ages can be personally introduced to this compelling yet contradictory genius, who said with some justification, "I am not
an American, I am
the American." Color. Approx. 225 minutes.
